Here's something to add in. At the bottom of this REPLY window, there is "Notify of replies:" and the box is CHECKED, and the following line "Check thi sif you wish to be notified of replies to this topic."

I've never received an email notifying me of the update to this thread!!

You can try removing the slashes in that IP address in Settings.pl. - however, all they're doing is escaping the dots in the IP address. I'm just guessing, but I suppose IIS might have an issue with the escaping characters.

Edited:

As to the notices - have you got 'Notify me of new Notifications by eMail?' set to 'yes' in your User CP?

If you only have one solution to a problem you're not trying hard enough!

I've modified the Settings.pl as "192.168.1.21"

As for the notification, I didn't recall setting that to "no". It's been awhile since I've visit the YABB forum...at least 3 years, up till now to troubleshoot my initial problem. Anyway, I flipped it to "yes".

We still need to look at what's going on with Mailer.pl/Smtp.pl in 2.5.2/IIS as those files haven't changed since 2.4 and possibly before. (Which indicates the problem is either further 'upstream' or there's a configuration that's been missed.)

At least there are other options.

I suspect that the Version Number issue is why the IP addresses have escaped periods in them in the newer versions of Settings.pl.

But I'm not sure this is the issue here simply because smtp works for earlier YaBB versions on the same server - under ActiveState Perl 5.10.1 - and the earlier versions are using unescaped IP addresses.
